Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
I just read The Daily News and swear by every word

The mysterious Edwin Drood returns
August 2010
Why is the US media getting in such a lather about where first lady Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha go bathing? What's the difference between altruism and philanthropy? And what would you say to your God if you met Him while abseiling?
After his short summer break, the Mysterious Edwin Drood is back to answer these and other burning questions in his own inimitable way in his weekly blog.
Edwin Drood's Column appears every Tuesday
at My Favourite Planet Blogs.

July 2010
It seems like My Favourite Planet correspondents are permanently on vacation. But don't let the sun-drenched snapshots and retsina-smeared postcards fool you: these are hard-bitten professionals on a mission. Well, at least that's what they tell us. They occasionally drop us a line from Ladakh, Saigon, Boston, Rhodes, Gran Canaria or some other exotic location, claiming to be on the case night and day.
Maybe one day their pithy articles, inciteful guides and breathtaking photos will finally arrive in the editors' inbox. We twiddle our editorial thumbs in anticipation.
Meanwhile, others have been busy and work will soon begin on the My Favourite Planet guide to Istanbul which should appear in September. This will be followed through Autumn and Winter by Athens, Berlin, London, Liverpool, North Wales, Delphi, Aegina, Thessalonica, Amphipolis, Thassos, Philippi, Didymoticho...
Stay tuned to this planet.

My Favourite Planet reaches up to the blogosphere
My Favourite Planet launches its first blog
May 2010
Once a rarefied space, the blogosphere is quickly becoming one of the busiest places around the globe.
Not to be left out, My Favourite Planet sent its own balloon aloft in May in the shape of Edwin Drood's Column. The mysterious Mr Drood's weekly blog articles contain strong opinions on the latest news and events around the world - and they are not just hot air. His searing gaze is directed to a wide variety of topics: from the economic crisis in the Euro Zone, through the weirdness of North Korea's leadership to the search for extra-terrestrial life.
Edwin Drood's Column appears every Tuesday on My Favourite Planet.

The world isn't getting smaller - official
January 2010
The planet may not be shrinking, but My Favourite Planet is steadily growing. In just over than one year we have already already published more than 850 pages of information, photos and maps. That means we are producing an average of over 70 pages every month.
Each week we are adding new pages of information and photos. The latest additions are Pergamon and Selcuk in Turkey, the Greek island of Kastellorizo (including a detailed map) and Avebury in England. On our German pages there's a travel article on Bali by Peter Hinze.
My Favourite Planet is written and produced for travellers by travellers. We're the kind of people who would rather be out and about rather sitting down to write, translate, edit, sort, check and programme content for web pages. That's why it takes so long to get things online. At present we have material for more than 100 locations in over 15 countries to work on, so we hope our readers have patience with us and keep visiting this site.
As ever, we remain grateful to all those of you who send us comments, corrections, complaints, contributions (in words and pictures) and even praise. Thanks. Keep reacting and interacting. |
